1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

A typical output of a metabolomic experiment is a peak table corresponding to the intensity of measured signals. Peak table processing, an essential procedure in metabolomics, is characterized by its study dependency and combinatorial diversity. While various methods and tools have been developed to facilitate metabolomic data processing, it is challenging to determine which processing workflow will give good performance for a specific metabolomic study. NOREVA, an out-of-the-box protocol, was therefore developed to meet this challenge. First, the peak table is subjected to many processing workflows that consist of three to five defined calculations in combinatorially determined sequences. Second, the results of each workflow are judged against objective performance criteria. Third, various benchmarks are analyzed to highlight the uniqueness of this newly developed protocol in (1) evaluating the processing performance based on multiple criteria, (2) optimizing data processing by scanning thousands of workflows, and (3) allowing data processing for time-course and multiclass metabolomics. This protocol is implemented in an R package for convenient accessibility and to protect users' data privacy. Preliminary experience in R language would facilitate the usage of this protocol, and the execution time may vary from several minutes to a couple of hours depending on the size of the analyzed data.
